13 Beverley St, Merimbula NSW 2548

This solid brick home ticks so many boxes; it has glorious views, a north-facing aspect, large split-level backyard and a great entry-level price point for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom Merimbula family home.

There's an immediate sense of space and light inside from the home's high, raked ceilings and plenty of retro charm from the original timber features. The open-plan living space is located on the upper level and is flooded with natural sunlight. It receives great airflow from large windows and doors right along its north-eastern aspect. The beautiful elevated views out over Merimbula Lake towards the Long Point headland, provide a stunning backdrop to the kitchen, living and dining areas and are best enjoyed from the large sun-bathed entertaining deck with your choice of drink in hand. The upper level is also the perfect vantage point to check what the kids are up to in the backyard below.

With original floorboards and other features throughout including timber windows and exposed ceiling beams this house has a quirky, 80s retro feel. The original kitchen is large and functional and includes a gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, breakfast bar and those beautiful panoramic views from the kitchen sink.

The main bedroom has a small walk-in wardrobe as well as an ensuite with separate toilet. There are numerous options for reconfiguring the current layout to make the most of this space. Bedrooms two and three are located on the home's lower level. Both have built-in wardrobes and open out onto a generous covered lower-level entertaining deck – or the perfect kid's play area – which then leads down to the backyard. Also on the lower level is the home's main bathroom - with its family-friendly, three-way layout – as well as the laundry which has separate external access to the backyard.

The home is surrounded by very neat and tidy, low maintenance gardens and the retained, two-tier backyard makes the most of the sloping block. This property also adjoins a Crown Land reserve at the rear so there's no neighbours over the back fence. There's a single lock-up garage with internal access, and extra storage space, as well as additional parking spaces in the front yard, and a convenient unsealed under-house storage space for bikes, fishing gear and the like.

Tucked away in quiet, leafy Beverley St, this home is completely private from the street and has a secluded, bushland feel which is amplified by the birdsong from surrounding trees. Located just a couple of minutes' drive to the Merimbula CBD, there's also a shortcut walking track which brings you out at nearby Kowara Crescent in less than ten minutes.

There's plenty of scope for a savvy investor, or hands-on owner to add significant value to this property through some renovations and updating. It already ticks so many sought-after boxes and is just waiting for a buyer with a vision to give it a final polish.
